Key takeaways
Describe how energy is transferred and stored in different systems.
Explain how to reduce transfers of wasted energy.
Calculate the efficiency of energy transfers in different scenarios.
Host: Jamie (BSc (Hons), MSc, PGCE) is a Science teacher who is passionate about breaking down complex topics into digestible bites for students.Energy transfers happen around us all the time, and are the purpose of the machines we use in our daily lives. This class introduces three important ideas: that energy is conserved, that energy can be transferred usefully or wasted, and how to represent the efficiency of these transfers using an equation and a diagram. This class is great for all ages but would be especially helpful for students who are trying to build a solid physics foundation for future classes and exams.

Safeguarding reminder:The safety of your child is of the utmost importance. All of our classes are pre-recorded to remove any concerns around live participation. For reruns of our past live classes, students' webcams and microphones were disabled and only the chat history, if participation was requested, is visible.
Suitable for:
This class is suitable for all students, especially those in Years 10-11 or S4-S5.
Class requirements:
Students will require a laptop with internet connection to view the class. A pen and notepad will also be required during the lesson.
What to expect:
- This class will take place online via a Zoom webinar.
